Network/Systems Admin question

Question for Network/Systems admins out there..

what AV program do you use for your corporate environment.

The network I've taken over uses McAfee Virus Scan Enterprise, but I think it's crap.

I come from Symantec AV environment and found it easy to use.. problem is that it's expensive.

What would you use for an office of about 100? something centrally managed and easy to update.

They are all crap in their own way...Best bet is to use different systems on different levels of the network...For example, maybe use Symantec on your DMZ or firewalls, and Norton on the servers. Other then that I have decent luck with McAfee (NAI) on the Exchange side.

We use Trend Micro at work. It is centralized and easy to deploy. Look at their SMB product line. We also use the Microsoft Windows Defender for spyware.

Norton corporate edition worked well for us. It was easy to push to remote servers and control from a central point.

We use Norton Corporate Edition throughout the enterprise and I've never had any problems with it.

Yeah, that's all that's needed, we restrict web access, & sharing firm wide so it hasn't been a problem.
